Hey guys I have a problem. I am trying to install a new tightbore barrel on my aeg but I ran into a dilemma . I run .2 gram biodegradable bb's s and they work fairly well. However, on the odd occasion, they do jam. What I was wondering is would a tightbore barrel increase the occuranse of jams, or decrease it do to the pressure put on the bb? Also are bio bb's really acctuallt better for the earth than normal? I know they re bad for the gun but still.

Any help would be great thanks.

Depends on the brand ofbio I guess. I know Scarecrow has been observing a spot of spilled BBs over the past chunk of years, regular BBs that is, and they are degrading relatively normally, as in not what the bio geeks say, made of styrene, so don't think that using quality BBs will litter the ground for decades.

Yes your chances of jams are increased with a tightbore barrel. If you're jamming on 6.08mm - you are definately going to jam with 6.03mm or less.
BioBBs aren't bad for the gun (brand depending), there are a lot of high quality bioBBs out there; Green Devils are one and sold here; http://www.bentbarrelgundoctor.com/

Green Devils are amazing from what I hear. But from experience, bio-bastards are flawless.

I have a 6.03 in my A&K SVD, and the few bio-bastards I have left run through rather cleanly. I dont think i've ever had a jam in it.

If you're getting bbs jam within a stock barrel, it may be due to a dirty barrel or very poor quality bbs. If you're going tightbore, you better maintain your gun and clean the barrel after each game. Use quality bbs and a clean barrel and you'll never get a barrel jam.

What exactly should I be using to clean my barrel?

The cleaning rod that came with your gun and you can rip up an old sheet or .22 cleaning patches available at Cantire... Thread the cloth through the hole in the cleaning rod... Dab some silicone oil on the small cloth... Run it through the inner barrel - try not to pass through the hop up rubber. Use a clean cloth, thread it through and run that down the barrel until it comes out clean (you may have to add clean cloths throughout this process).
To clean the hop up rubber you will have to take the gun apart and clean it with a mild dish soap and water.
The exterior of the gun can be cleaned with pretty much anything. I use "Outters Gun Oil". I pour some on and wipe it off, it's also good for the steel parts and keeps rusting to a minimum.
